Greek Salad

One of my favorite salads is the Greek salad. The high protein feta cheese, the omega-9 rich olives and the veggies it contains make it a whole source for most of the nutrients we need in a meal, plus it only takes a few minutes to prepare, so why don't you try it out tonight

Ingredients:

  • 6 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sumak
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 large plum tomatoes, seeded, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cucumber, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 bell pepper, seeded, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup pitted black olives preferably Kalamata 
  • A heaping half cup crumbled feta cheese

Preparation Directions

Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, olives in a bowl. 

Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, sumak and oregano together until blended. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
